One more thing that I am working on is the notorious shift linkage for
the 80-82 Vanagons.  This has went the way of the dinosaur for countless
ages.  I actually got two sets of these brand new from France
yesterday!  However I bought one set for a customer and the other set is
going to be used as a model for new parts that I am going to try to have
made up.  I want to keep these parts available as I have had many
customers calling me for them over the years and I have had no source.
If you are interested in this project please let me know.  The parts we
are getting together are the guide pin on the transmission, the shift
rod on the side of the trans, the guide pin bushing, and guide boot.  I
have found new sources for the boot and the bushing.  My concern now is
getting the two "hard" parts made up.  I will let you know my progress
on this if folks are interested.
